In this episode of iCritic LIVE, we tackle the burning question: Does Netflix really need billion-dollar box office hits to make their films a cultural phenomenon? As streaming giants like Netflix dominate our screens, traditional box office expectations are evolving. Join us as we explore how Netflix movies like "Bird Box" and "Red Notice" have made waves without theatrical releases, and discuss whether financial success is the key to cultural relevance—or if it's all about impact, memes, and buzz.
🎬 From streaming strategies to the changing landscape of Hollywood, we break down what it takes for a Netflix original to truly enter the zeitgeist.
Tune in for:
- The evolution of Netflix’s original films
- Box office vs. streaming success
- How Netflix shapes pop culture
- Predictions for Netflix's future hits
